Harmonizing Relationships

Meditation: Harmonizing Relationsips

This meditation is based on the principle that relationships reflect back to us our own vibrations. If there is a negative charge, it is because there is a negative thought, judgement or fear I hold deep in my psyche that I am not aware of. The relationship helps to bring it to the surface. A gift.

This is a simple first step to harmonizing the relationship from within. It is not meant to simplify the complexity of relationships, but simply to demonstrate how changing your own vibrations begins to affect the relationship. As you practice this over and over and apply it to more and more complex issues, you will be surprised as to how much the quality of your relationships will begin to change. (15 min.)

More on Meditation instead of medication.

Perhaps I need to clarify a bit. Comments posted by devoted TM practitioners suggest grave objections to my 'using the evidence of TM to promote other stuff' which they feel may not be as effective.

I wish to add that I have been a practitioner of TM from the early 70s and have first hand knowledge of its benefits. I have also learned and practiced other types of meditations from yoga and tantra origins. I have found everything to be beneficial in different contexts.

In my own practice I have been successful in helping clients reduce and even get off various kinds of medications, sometimes after years of use. And it is done through simple meditative and energy healing practices. So even though I don't have libraries of research studies to quote, I cannot deny the evidence experienced first hand.

My article was intended to open up the readers to alternate techniques.

I hold the single minded practitioners of TM in high regard becauce their practice is indeed raising the human consciousness enough that others can now access levels of consciousness that was previously inaccessible. So thankyou for your devotion to the practice.

Meditation instead of medication

Did you know that there is a growing body of research goin on by the scientific community that shows the effect of regular meditation on the body and mind? More and more people are able to reduce their dependence on medication and also reduce levels of stress and anxiety.

To read more about what the medical community is saying about meditation visit

Though these people make specific reference to TM -- transcendental meditation -- similar results are found in other types of meditations too.

Where the mind is without fear

Where the mind is without fear
and the head is held high
Where knowledge is free
Where the world has not been
broken up into fragments
By narrow domestic walls
Where words come out
from the depth of truth
Where tireless striving stretches
its arms towards perfection
Where the clear stream of reason
has not lost its way
Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit
Where the mind is led forward by thee
Into ever-widening thought and action
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father,
let my country awake

from Rabindranath Tagore’s Geetanjali

The Magic Touch of Thought

You expand and contract
In my mind
As I will

You are sometimes
The large hearted lover
Brimming with thoughtful caring

Then suddenly you diminish
Into the little mortal
Full of fear and foreboding

And just with the magic touch
Of my thought
I liberate you once again
To become
The magnificent soul
That you really are

And in so doing
I set myself free.

Self Acceptance

We are our own worst critics. We all have parts within that we find hard to accept and even harder to change. These parts seem to have a mind of their own. We end up spending a great deal of vital Life Force energy in harboring these negative self images and robbing ourselves of fun.

Here is a simple first step to acceptance. Acceptance alone will open the door for change.

Self Acceptance meditation



Enjoy.

Energy Healing: On the Cutting Edge

(This article is in the current issue of Healthy Aging magazine).

When we think of holistic alternatives in Health Care, typically our minds go to such things as vitamins and supplements, exercises and diets. The more adventurous will also look at herbal remedies and be willing to try out acupuncture, yoga or qigung.

There is a whole new movement going on out there that has exceedingly powerful effects on our health. This is the field of Energy Medicine, although that is perhaps not the correct term as there is no ‘medicinal substance’ involved. A more apt description may be Energy Psychology or Energy Healing.

These modalities are based on the scientific fact that we are all basically energy. This body that we see in the mirror everyday is built up of minute units of energy at the atomic and subatomic levels. Everything that is matter is actually energy at the core. So when we bring about shifts in the energy, we can affect change at the physical level. And what is more, it is far easier to change the energy than to change the physical form.

Energy Healing modalities have another very interesting and critical underpinning. This is the fact that not only are our bodies made up of energy, but so are our thoughts and emotions. So every thought we think and every emotion we feel carry energy. The good ones help our bodies become more healthy, the negative ones make us unhealthy.

Farfetched as it may sound, energy healing practitioners are finding more and more evidence of these facts. People who are trying these methods are able to see quick shifts in short term problems and alleviation of long term and chronic issues.

The National Institute of Health now has a special branch in its Complimentary and Alternative section that has started to investigate the effectiveness of Energy Medicine. The few studies that are available are showing positive indications of the effectiveness of Energy Medicine.

What are these Energy Healing modalities? The two that are most widely known and are also being used in several hospitals and health care centers are – Healing Touch and Reiki. In these, the practitioner and the receiver both get into a meditative mind space and direct healing energy to the troubled spots. Sometime this is done by gently laying the hands, and sometimes just mentally. Person receiving healing universally report a feeling of great relaxation and well being. This is precisely what the body needs to allow the healing to take place, whether it is to let a medicine work or whether recovering from surgery.

Other Energy Modalities include a system called Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) that is based on Thought Field Therapy combined with the Chinese Meridian concept. It helps to release old trapped emotions that play over and over in head and create negative energies resulting in physical illness.

There are two major advantages of Energy Healing. The first is that it can do no harm. There are no negative side effects, because it must necessarily be anchored to a positive mindframe to have an effect. The second most wonderful advantage is that each of us can learn the techniques and apply them on ourselves. Just like exercise and diet, we can develop our own regime of meditation and self healing with Reiki or EFT.

Energy Healing is on the threshold of taking the concept of health care to a whole new level – a completely new paradigm. To be effective, however, it is necessary that we begin to understand the mind-body-spirit connection. This forms the base of Energy Healing.
